A group of Fort Mill golfers, who have donated a lot more than greens fees to a Fort Mill food pantry over more than two decades, dropped their best putt yet recently when they donated more than $2,000 for the needy.

The Fort Mill Men’s Golf Association donated $2,300, which was collected mainly from tournaments in 2017, to the Fort Mill Care Center before Christmas. The money came from more than 200 members and guests donations, said Don Garrett, a past member of the association board of governors. Garrett has been part of donating to the care center for years.

“The Fort Mill Care Center provides a valuable service to people in need and we are proud to help out any way that we can,” Garrett said.

The Fort Mill Care Center helps hundreds of families in need every month with its food pantry, said Carol Higgins, director of the center. The center also helps the needy pay utility and other essential bills, obtain prescription medication and other emergency services, Higgins said.
